Site Selection and Tax
Credits & Incentives

National perspective. Local insight.

For both multinationals establishing footholds in the U.S., and U.S. firms expanding, relocating, or consolidating operations, site selection can present significant opportunities. Tax credits/incentives vary significantly from state to state, and minimizing state and local tax liabilities is an important consideration in selecting sites for production, distribution, sales, back office functions, customer assistance, and more.

BDO’s integrated, partner-led team is comprised of tax and industry professionals from offices across the country. We have strong working relationships with state and local economic development agencies that partner with us during the site selection and tax incentives process. Tax and business incentives can be awarded in numerous forms, including:

Income/franchise tax credits

Tax rebates

Discretionary cash grants and infrastructure assistance

Tax exemptions for state and local taxes including income/franchise, sales and use taxes, payroll taxes, and real and personal property taxes
